After Xbox Game Bar updated to version 7.325.5191.0 on June 13 2025, I have been noticing more DCOM errors and crashes on control panel and event viewer. it will crash when I put the laptop into sleep mode and sometimes when I'm using the laptop. I have tried repairing and resetting the app, even trying to uninstall and reinstall via PowerShell, but that did not do anything, if I try to reset it it will give DCOM errors every two minutes unless I terminate Game Bar entirely, the performance widget doesn't really work anymore either as it just stays stuck and not give me info unless I reboot till it crashes again. I barely use Game Bar since I have Steam, Nvidia APP, and MSI Afterburner. But these crashes are starting to get annoying for me. Anyone else have a solution or a quick fix? This all kind of started as well when they tried to forcefully install edge game assist too.


My laptop is an MSI Katana 15 B13VEK.
